In Town:
Kadaz, Conner, and Uriel decide to head to the country to meet the rest of their group. They stop by their lodgings on the way, and discover that they have a visitor. A tall, muscular, red-haired dwarf is knocking on the door even as they approach it.
In the Country:
"She's not in the wagon, my lord," one of the footmen reports.
"What?" cries the young man. "Well...where is she then?" He looks around at all of you, as if seeing you for the first time. "Do you....do you mean to say you really haven't got her?"
One of the other young men on horseback calls, "She's not here, Jarvis, and I'm getting bored."
"And hungry," the other rider adds. "Let's go to the pub for a spot of something; this is a waste of time."
"Very well." The leader has regained some of his composure, and gives you a sweeping bow which looks rather silly on horseback. "We shall let you pass, for you do not have what we seek. However--"
"Oh, give it up, Jarvis, they don't know where she is," his friend says. He turns his horse and begins moving away; the other rider soon follows suit.
"Farewell, then," says Jarvis, obviously still trying to stay on script. "Until our next meeting." With that, he tries to turn and gallop away with a flourishing style, but his horse shies at the sweeping cloak and the young man is forced to clutch at the pommel just to keep his seat.
Warily, the footmen step back and lower their crossbows, watching as you leave.
Uriel Tuesday July 6th, 2004 11:17:23 PM
Uriel loosens his sword in his scabbard and says, "You looking for someone, bub?" not in the mood to be trifled with from the lack of success they have seen so far.

"Bub?" the well muscled dwarf with the shaggy red hair and long red beard asks with a slight tone of anger in his voice.
Taking a deep breath almost to calm himself the dwarf continues. "My name is Wilfire Ironhouse. I was sent here by a friend named Chersy Whiteberry. She said a promising group of adventurer's lived here and that maybe I could be of some aid to them. I don't know... maybe I have the wrong house."
The dwarf takes a step back. He appears to be teetering on the edge of staying and going.
Arm Wednesday July 7th, 2004 5:14:29 AM
After they take leave of the odd party of men and once they are out of earshot, Arm relates to them his experience in the woods with the selfsame people, "I think that a LOT more is going on with them as well as our benefactor in town. Let us return with all haste to town to meet up with the rest.....we MUST figure out a plan of action with all of these strange people.".
Kadaz Wednesday July 7th, 2004 7:47:06 AM
Kadaz steps forward and raises a hand. "Peace, we mean no offense. We are on guard because we've had some interesting encounters recently." Kadaz stops momentarily to eye the newcomer. "Are you a fighter?"
Mira d20+5=23 Wednesday July 7th, 2004 5:29:05 PM
From her place behind Evan and Arm, Mira makes a quick gesture first pointing at the head of the one called Jarvis and then flicking her hand out from the wrist. Anyone spotting the movement might think she is waving bood-bye. (Mage Hand, Bluff=23) As the horse shies, the large feathered hat goes flying off 15ft to the side of the road.
Mira then takes her place beside the wagon and wearily trudges back towards the inn that is the rendez-vous point.
Conner d20+3=13 Wednesday July 7th, 2004 6:27:32 PM
Conner looks over the dwarf in front of him for clues to his line of work [Spot=13]. The muscular fighter steps forward and offers his hand in greeting. My name is Conner, why don't you step inside and you can tell us more of yourself and this Whiteberry person."
Wilfire Ironhouse Wednesday July 7th, 2004 8:19:09 PM
The red haired dwarf's face warms considerably when Conner intorduces himself.
"Greetings Conner", the dwarf says. Then looking towards Kadaz he continues.
"And you must be Kadaz. Ahh... Chersy Whiteberry described you all so perfectly. Anyhow to answer your questions about my profession- I am a priest, although not so long ago I sure did my share of fighting", he says with a smile.
"Anyhow in those days I was a lost soul, with no direction or purpose. But those days are gone. Now I've set myself to making a difference in the world. And so I have come to offer my services."
Uriel Wednesday July 7th, 2004 9:19:48 PM
"Chersy Whiteberry sent you? Well, pardon my rudeness - we have been beset with frustrations at every angle of late and it is wearing thin on my patience," says the towering Paladin.
"We were just planning on heading out into the country to meet up with our friends, Mira, Evan and Arm. If you would like to come with us, we could get acquainted on the ride out. We are thinking of renting a wagon."
